Justa Dandelion: Nov 27, 2020; [sobbing] Look at the circles under my eyes. I haven't slept in weeks!

I live in a desert and I'm trying my hand at no-till regenerative gardening. I'm mulching my vegetable beds pretty heavily and want to do some cover cropping in the fall... My dumbshit question is, do I just lightly work the mulch into the soil before cover cropping? Would that do damage to the soil? There's ample free mulch in my town so the cost of reapplying mulch is just gas to get the truck to the free mulch pile.

The shelf that all my super hots live on outside collapsed today due to the former owners not understanding how screws or basic physics work. Assemble and construct with care people.

Thankfully only one Scotch Bonnet was decapitated and will just act like it got topped, but everything had it's roots messed with and/or leaves torn off.

Looks like the plants didn't react well to over a week of 100-110 F temperatures and they did something I haven't seen 'em do before.

P sure that the unripe peppercorns are also delicious. In Japanese coming they call them sansho.

Learn something new every day, thanks for the info on the different kinds of sansho.

My seedlings have started to sprout! Arugula and cabbage so far, I think I see my spinach and salad greens starting to move. Hoping the peppers come up in the next few days

Also trying the Ruth Stout method in the veggie garden this year. We got two bunnies that yeild about 20 gallons of urine soaked hay and manure. Been stacking it up in the garden beds and will see how it goes this year :2monocle:

How's everybody's garden going so far?

My dude if you are able to divine that for me you are better than all the combined science of meteorology ever, because it’s extremely variable here.

...

Here’s hoping Mother Nature cooperates because we could have frost or 100°+ heat waves in May just as easily as something pleasant.

Colorado?

We don't deal with creeping Charlie where I'm at but we have a whole rear end mess of bind weed so I feel your pain.

Also sucks about those geraniums. Plant less tasty poo poo?
